Love it. Almost "man bites dog"-esque. I agree that if you're going to give the user feedback on an action, there needs to be a concerted effort to let them know, not just a quick flash whilst the update occurs. I personally like the input forms that react to what you type, like the password strength ones. Also forms that have some sort of tick/cross/image as you tab or move to the next one. Basically: get the back end working quickly, but not at the expense of the UX. The headline grabs my attention. Love it. Almost “man bites dog”-esque.
